my son is terrifying me tonight

Hello @Bunniekins

Such a terrifying time for you....your son also would have been terrified even though coming across as aggressive...

I have experienced traumatic situations in past with family member and had to hide with my younger son locking myself in bathroom or car..

it truly is terrifying..

not wanting to intrude as have been sticking to a couple of threads due to my own circumstances...

just a suggestion..

you can ring reception of son's psychiatrist and stress he needs urgent appointment...he needs medication checking due to change in his health..(no need to go into actual details with receptionist).stress that it is very urgent..

thinking of you...so hard for you both..so relieved to read that you had such incredible support...

ps absolutely adore your new outfit courtesy of @Zoe7

Hi @Sophia1

hello @Zoe7

only just found this thread and read through how terrifying an ordeal greenpea had...

having such incredible support which is almost non existent in the real world just jumped off the pages at me...

a reminder yet again how so much empathy and compassion can be found amongst people living with unwellness of the mind...

yes you are part of what I am expressing..

love the greenpea latest wardrobe adjustment....enough said...I want to maintain respect for greenpea and the contents of this thread..

I relate a little to what @Bunniekins was going through - having spent many nights years ago wondering what was to come next - especially when my I had no idea what my ex had taken at the time

I wish I had had such a wonderful community like this back then to lean on - I may not have felt so alone and constantly on-guard as I did @Sophia1

Our little pea certainly had a terrifying night but she did the right thing by seeking help - both here and in real life - she got through it and was safe herself and that is what was important.

@Zoe7 I have discovered that in my son's package at his day care program there is a lil bit on funds set aside for anger management and behaviour problrms with a psychologist. I contacted the program and they said they would look into it. They were not to happy about it (I think they were hoping to spend it else where but to bad). Behaviour therapy skills to control his occasional outbursts would be beneficial to all of us including the progam.

Hoping you are feel a wee bit better today my lovely Soe7 :). Can't have our girl in the wars xxx

Any help you and your son can get is necessary right now for both of you @Bunniekins. You know what happened the other night is likely to happen again without support to helkp him manage his anger better - and the last thing we want is for that anger to be turned on you (or anyone else including himself). Too bad that if they were thinking that money could be spent elsewhere - it has been set aside for a reason and you need to utilise it.

I am feeling a little better but not great today. The antibiotics already seem to be working - as much for my chest as my finger. My finger is still quite swollen and is turning a nice shade of purple but isn't throbbing like it was. I can breathe better today just feel miserable now. Toby is snuggled up next to me having puppy dreams lol

@Sophia1 Hi Sophia1 firstly thank you so much for your beautiful, kind wishes I so appreciate all the support I have been given as I know you and many others are wrestling with their own demons and yet have reached out when I needed it most. Thank you. I will definately take your advice on board. I have an appointment with my psychiatrist before my son's and both the psychiatrists are in touch with each other. I will definately bring it up with them when I see her. Thanking you agan and wishing your a caring and kind day xxxx

@Bunniekins

I have done nothing...just really feeling for you...

the support from others is magical and you have expressed so well your gratitude and appreciation..

as others have said...please remember to look after the lovely greenpea even if you are wearing a super power cape ....love it ...xx

@Zoe7 Toby really is your baby boy isnt he 😄 protecting his mum that is so sweet and adorable :):) read today that our premier is going to press forward on measures to protect ambos from attacks by mentally ill people by giving them gaol sentences. I agree with this but it also worries me with my son as he would survive 10 seconds in gaol should something like that ever occur ... you know what I am saying? It is good but also a worry nonetheless

@Sophia1 Yes @Zoe7 is the peas personal dresser. Don't know where the pea would be with Zoe7 naked somewhere
